I wonder if it will be possible in the future to have the 3ds use the arm9 processor to run an application in background? For instance, a music player in the background while you play a game. And if it is theoretically possible, what would be necessary?

Thanks in advance and I'm sorry if the question was noobish and didn't deserve a thread on its own.

This raises another, more interesting question - Is swap memory possible on the 3DS, assuming you're on CFW ? This alone could break wide every N3DS exclusivity (due to the added RAM allowing them to run), while making every 3DS game running better due to more RAM, even though losing the same amount of memory on your SD card could be a problem to some. It could also help emulators.

"Break exclusivity" i dont think there were any N3DS titles that soly was exclusive due to ram, i belive they all used the fact of the faster CPU and added L2 Cache.
